A children’s hospital in Florida hit by the recent powerful and destructive Hurricane Milton was able to maintain access to water with a system that can capture moisture from the air. Contributions to the development of such water harvesting systems have been made by ASU researchers in recent years. Paul Westerhoff, an ASU Regents Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment, part of the Fulton Schools, is among the ASU engineering researchers who have been contributing to progress in developing tools, techniques and systems to produce water from atmospheric moisture, which could help to provide water accessibility during disasters.
